Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The Way, the Truth, and the Life: Knowing Jesus with Kristin Nave – John 14 n Episode 148 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane welcome Bible teacher and author Kristin Nave for a powerful conversation centered on John 14 and one of Jesus' most defining declarations: “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Together, they unpack what these words mean for us today. What does it look like to follow Jesus as the Way when we don't know where we're going? How do we anchor ourselves in the Truth when so many voices compete for our attention? And what does it mean to experience Jesus not simply as part of our lives, but as the Life itself? Kristin brings her passion for Scripture and practical Bible study into a conversation about knowing Jesus personally, trusting Him in uncertainty, and allowing God's Word to shape how we live. John 14 isn't simply giving us directions for finding our way to God. Jesus makes an extraordinary claim: He is the way. If you're searching for direction, wrestling with truth, or longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, pull up a chair. This conversation is for you. Reflection Question: Am I simply asking Jesus to show me the way or am I trusting that Jesus Himself is the Way? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams Connect with Kristin Nave: Website: www.abidingfree.com Website: www.shelovesbible.com Instagram: @shelovesbible ____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book: Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved
Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
Episode Description Click here for the DRB Daily Sign Up form! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 10–12; John 14 Click HERE to give! One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible-in-a-year podcast with 20-minute Scripture readings, Christ-centered devotion, and guided prayer. This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 12th day of August, we journey through Jeremiah 10–12 and John 14 with Hunter, your Bible reading coach. In Jeremiah, we encounter the folly of idols, the faithfulness of the living God, and the prophet's struggle to understand what God is doing in the midst of injustice and suffering. Then, in John 14, Jesus draws his disciples into some of the deepest mysteries of our faith, revealing his union with the Father and promising the coming presence of the Holy Spirit. Yet amid these profound mysteries, Jesus gives his disciples something remarkably simple: follow me. There is so much about God, life, and faith that we may not fully understand, but we are not required to have everything figured out before we walk with Christ. We are invited to trust his presence, receive his peace, and go where he leads. Today's devotion reminds us that faith is not ultimately about mastering every mystery, but about learning to hear the voice of Jesus and respond when he says, "Come, let's be going." TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are some things about God that are simply beyond us. In John 14, Jesus is speaking to his disciples about some of the deepest mysteries imaginable. He tells them that he is in the Father and the Father is in him. He tells them that the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will come and live within them. He tells them that somehow, through the Spirit, they will participate in this life and love that exists between the Father and the Son. That's a lot to take in. And you can almost feel Thomas and Philip trying to keep up. They want more explanation. They want Jesus to slow things down and make everything clearer. Thomas says, essentially, "We don't even know where you're going." Philip says, "Just show us the Father and we'll be satisfied." I understand that impulse. I think most of us do. There are so many things about faith that we want explained. There are mysteries we want solved and questions we want answered. We want greater clarity about God, about ourselves, about suffering, about the future, about what God is doing in our lives. But Jesus doesn't give his disciples a theological diagram that explains everything. Instead, he gives them himself. He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled. He promises them his peace. He promises the Spirit. He reminds them that they are not being abandoned. And then, at the end of the chapter, he says something remarkably ordinary and practical: "Come, let's be going." Come. Follow me. There is something beautiful about that. The mysteries are still mysteries. The disciples still don't understand everything. But Jesus is with them, and for now that is enough. They can follow him. And maybe that is enough for us today too. You don't have to understand everything before you follow Jesus. You don't have to solve every theological question or make sense of every circumstance in your life. There are things we may understand later that we simply cannot understand now. But we can hear his voice. We can receive his peace. We can trust the Spirit who lives within us. And we can follow. Jesus says that he is the way, the truth, and the life. The way is not simply information about God. The way is a person. And as we follow him, we begin to experience the life he has promised us. We discover his peace, his strength, his joy, and his presence along the way. So maybe today, instead of demanding an answer to every mystery, we can simply listen for the invitation of Jesus: Come, let's be going. Follow me. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Of all the hard sayings of Jesus, this one is not hard to understand. Jesus is clear with his claim that He is the only way to God, to salvation, to forgiveness of sins, to a life of eternal blessedness and joy, and more. That is what makes this a hard saying to our culture because it is so offensive to be exclusive. In a world of inclusivity that affirms all paths, Jesus contradicts the world's view.

Sermon by David Rountree on 8/9/26 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture: John 14:16, 17 Outline: The Holy Spirit's Assistance for our Strengthening: Consider the word “another” (John 14:16), not “different” helper. Consider the word “helper” (parakletos, John 14:16). Examples of parakaleo. The distinction between paracletes: Christ and the Holy Spirit. Christ our advocate (1 John 2:1-2). Christ our judge (cf. Acts 7:54-56). The Holy Spirit our “right now” helper (John 14:16). The Strengthening of our Helper the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). “Helper” or “Comforter”? The original understanding of “comforter” (con-forte'). 1 John 4:4. Concluding Application: A HAPPY PEOPLE: Let us rejoice that our God is always in us (Ps. 28:7,8; 18:39; 37:39; 46:1). A FEARLESS PEOPLE: Let us live fearless (1 John 4:4; Ps. 61:3; 2 Sam. 22:40; Isa. 41:10). A PATIENT PEOPLE: Let us wait for the Lord for new strength (Isa. 40:31). A GRATEFUL PEOPLE: Let us ascribe to the Lord, glory and strength (1 Chron. 16:27-29). A STRONG PEOPLE: Let us be “strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might” (Eph. 6:10; Phil. 4:13). www.ncchurch.net

Jesus didn't promise a life without trouble. He promised that we would never walk through it alone.In the final episode of our John 14 series, Joe explores Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit, the gift of lasting peace, and what it really means to trust God when life feels uncertain.Instead of living from fear, worry, and the need to control every outcome, we're invited to believe that God is already with us, guiding us every step of the way.This episode is a reminder that peace isn't found when our circumstances change. Peace begins when we remember we're never alone.Wrapping up John 14, Joe reflects on Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit as our Advocate and constant companion.The conversation centers on the difference between living from fear and living from faith. Joe shares how worry and faith both require belief in something unseen, but we get to choose which direction our imagination takes us.He encourages listeners to release control, trust God's direction, and remember that the Holy Spirit is always present, offering wisdom, peace, and guidance. The episode concludes with a practical invitation to pray with gratitude instead of fear and to walk through life believing that God is already working.Music by Viktor Sklemin from Pixabay

Jesus' words in John 14:6 may be some of the most quoted, and most misunderstood, verses in the Bible.In this episode, Joe explores what it means when Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Rather than approaching the passage as a debate, he reflects on it as an invitation to follow Jesus' example, trust God's direction, and build a genuine friendship with Him.Together we explore faith, miracles, distractions, prayer, and why belief is more than simply saying the right words. It's about learning to live the way Jesus lived, one day at a time.Continuing through John 14, Joe reflects on verses 5 through 14 and Jesus' famous declaration that He is "the way, the truth, and the life."Instead of focusing on arguments or theology, Joe encourages listeners to see these verses as a roadmap for living. He discusses trusting God during uncertainty, recognizing the miracles that often go unnoticed, and moving from performative faith to authentic belief.The episode closes by inviting listeners to ask themselves a simple but powerful question:What would it look like to truly follow Jesus today instead of simply believing ideas about Him?Music by Viktor Sklemin from Pixabay

In this episode of the Rooted & Raised Podcast, we dive into one of the most hope-filled chapters in the entire Bible—John 14.Just hours before His arrest and crucifixion, Jesus gave His disciples words of comfort, hope, and promise that continue to encourage believers today. Together, we discuss what it means when Jesus says, "Do not let your hearts be troubled," why He declared "I am the way, the truth, and the life," the promise of the Holy Spirit, and how these truths should shape the way we live every day.Whether you're reading through the Gospel of John for the first time or have studied it for years, we pray this conversation helps you know Jesus more deeply and strengthens your faith.
Troubled hearts do not need a vague spiritual slogan, they need a solid place to stand. We open John 14:1–7 inside the tense, emotional final hours before the cross, where Jesus tells his disciples hard truths: betrayal is coming, denial is coming, and he is leaving. Then he speaks a command that feels impossible until you see what he is really offering: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.” From there, we follow Thomas' blunt question, the one we all ask in our own way: “How can we know the way?” Jesus does not hand over directions or a checklist. He gives himself. We unpack why John 14:6 is the core of the Christian gospel and why it is also deeply personal: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” The problem is not that we lack effort, it's that we are not with the Father, and we cannot fix that separation on our own. To make the point vivid, we connect John's “farewell discourse” to Genesis 3 and the Garden of Eden, where sin turns joyful communion into hiding, fear, and spiritual death. We talk about how deception works, why small distortions of God's Word matter, and how Jesus as truth steadies us in reality when our desires and anxieties pull us off course. Finally, we look at Jesus as life, the “tree of life” theme, and communion as a monthly, tangible reminder that Christ's body and blood are our only hope and our deepest satisfaction.

Message By Daniel Broyles
In the upper room, Jesus told his disciples, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." He then promised that he would ask the Father to send another Helper. The Holy Spirit was sent to dwell within believers, teaching and reminding them of Jesus' words, and empowering them to love Jesus through joyful obedience. What Jesus commands, the Holy Spirit enables. Verses : John 14: 15-31, 1 John 2: 3-6, 1 John 5: 1-5 (NLT) Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson
Send us Fan MailMen's Health: Recognizing Depression, Finding Root Causes, and Building Preventive Habits with Dr. JohnEpisode SummaryDepression in men doesn't always look like sadness. It often appears as irritability, withdrawal, exhaustion, loss of motivation, declining work performance, or giving up activities that once brought joy. In this episode, Dr. Angela Andrews sits down with Dr. John of Thrive Family Health to discuss why men's mental health is frequently overlooked, how to recognize the warning signs, and why addressing the root cause—not just the symptoms—is essential.Together, they explore the many factors that can contribute to depression, including chronic stress, poor sleep, trauma, substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and social isolation. They also discuss why self-diagnosing through the internet often delays proper treatment and how a trusted relationship with a primary care physician can help uncover what's really going on.The conversation closes with practical advice for men at every stage of adulthood—from building healthy habits in your 20s to preserving muscle, staying active, keeping up with preventive screenings, and protecting heart health later in life.What You'll LearnWhy depression often looks different in men than in womenCommon warning signs that are easy to overlookMedical and lifestyle conditions that can mimic or contribute to depressionThe connection between sleep, stress, hormones, and mental healthWhen ADHD, anxiety, or bipolar disorder should be consideredWhy professional evaluation is better than self-diagnosisThe importance of purpose, relationships, and spiritual healthPractical preventive health advice for men in their 20s, 40s, and beyondKey TakeawaysDepression in men often presents as irritability, withdrawal, fatigue, or decreased performance rather than sadness.Mental health symptoms deserve a thorough evaluation to identify underlying causes.Sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and social connection are powerful tools for improving mental wellbeing.Therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination may all play important roles in treatment.Preventive care becomes increasingly important with age, especially for maintaining muscle mass, cardiovascular health, and recommended cancer screenings.Having an ongoing relationship with a trusted primary care physician leads to earlier detection and better long-term health.Episode Chapters00:00 Men's Health Focus00:51 Hidden Depression Signs01:35 Looking Beyond the Symptoms02:41 Sleep, Stress & Self-Medication03:37 Irritability, Withdrawal & Burnout04:41 ADHD, Anxiety & Mental Health Overlap06:15 Getting Help: Therapy, Medication & Lifestyle09:46 Faith, Purpose & Connection11:01 Men's Health Advice by Age13:10 Connect with Dr. John14:08 Podcast Outro & Medical DisclaimerGuest ResourcesDr. John Italiano, DOFounder, Thrive Family Health Direct Primary Care

Ponder this week's reading from the gospel of John! // Music: Street Cred by Reveille
Jesus and his disciples are in the upper room celebrating the Passover, and up until this point, Jesus has washed the disciples' feet, predicted the betrayal of Judas and the denial of Peter, and has commanded them to love one another. Jesus is preparing to leave his earthly ministry and return to the Father, and as such is the case, he gives his disciples further insight into his relationship with the Father and with the Holy Spirit. Over the next few chapters, Jesus will talk about the inner workings of the Trinity, expounding upon the relationship between the three members of the Godhead. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
